The BR is one of my favorite guns beside the SMG. I find that it takes skill.

The BR is the best weapon in the game. I love the BR

  • 08.15.2009 5:03 PM PDT

Yeha i agree..

  • 08.15.2009 5:08 PM PDT

The next person to assume I am talking about ranked, do us all a favor and look at what I play!

The BR is not the best weapon in the game. BEcause the situations are so varried in Halo 3, that distinction comes to diferent categories. BEsides, people who claim the BR is for close range need to play some Social Slayer.

The battle rifle is the best weapon in the game and there is nothing wrong with it. It was designed to have strong points and weaknesses and its not my top weapon i get kills with for nothin what im trying to say is if u cant use a battle rifle dont complain about it

"There's daggers in men's smiles." - Donalbain, Macbeth, Act II, scene iii

I want to be able to customize the looks of my BR. You know, put a big vinyl with the number "7" on it. Maybe even make it purple.
/sarcasm

Seriously though, a bunch of people flame and complain that the MLG noobs use the BR because that's all they can win with. The BR is 'a' weapon, just like the others, with its perks and with its downsides. If you don't like the BR, then don't use it. That simple.

EDIT: It would still be amazing to be able to customize the BR appearance.

Well, if the BR could only shoot more faster then it wouldn't be such a drag for it, But, I still like it.

  • 08.15.2009 9:34 PM PDT

I like the BR, its a cool weapon, i use others too but i dont dislike the BR

  • 08.16.2009 1:59 AM PDT

i just played halo2 for the first time in a year and realized how much better the br was

  • 08.16.2009 4:20 PM PDT

honestly, i think the assault rifle should be removed and the br made an automatic weapon....of course.....less accurate,,,just a little bit

  • 08.16.2009 5:06 PM PDT

The BR is broken or anything but it's stupid. Bungie wanted to make it the way it is now with H2 but it didn't turn out that way, which is a lot like what happened with Gears. They didn't want people just wallbouncing and having shotgun battles in Gears 1 but that's what people did, and they liked it. But in Gears 2 when they made it the way they wanted it, and Gears became crap. Same with Halo, it's crap now. People liked the BR but Bungie wanted it their way.

lols... Good Idea, But Halo 3 is awesome and one bad weapon isn't going to ruin a game...

Also, Gears 2 is bad for other reasons...

This thread is a wall of text that shows the BR and ARs advantages and disadvantages at the specific ranges.

The AR

Close Range

The Ar is a great close range weapon that can rack up many kills in a row if the conditions are right. It is not a "spray and pray" weapon, as most AR bashers think. The ARs accuracy at this range is an accurate weapon as long as you keep it perfictly aligned with the target. The rush and beat down strategy is only used by the people who prefer it. Any one else can simply choose to strafe and shoot instead of rushing.

Medium Range

This is where the accuracy begins to deteriorate. Depending on how far or close the target is within this ranges. . .range, roughy 30 to 60% of the bullets will land, which can do enough damage to rebound with a fast BR burst.

Long range

Well, if you want math, the closest someone can get to an AR user within this range, about 5 to 10% of the bullets will land. But who am l kidding,the AR is not and advisable long rang weapon. I advise the BR or the sniper.
_____________________________________________________________ _____________


The BR

Close Range

The Ar is more advisable for this range, but, depending on the location of the target, a skilled BR user will be able to take down an enemy at any position in this range. Also note that strategies differ at this range similar to the ARs. People can just as easily rush with the BR just as they do with the AR, but they can strafe too, which is more common with the BR.

Medium Range

Ok, this weapon, in the right hands, is a man eater at this range. It can compete with any other weapon at this range. Enough said.

Long Range

The BR is no sniper, but, once again, in the right hands, the weapon can deal a massive amount of damage. It probably could not compete with a sniper, and could be outmatched by another BR or a Carbine, but any other weapon would be too inacurate. Still, a sniper is the most obvious weapon to use at this range.

Conclusion

The AR is more of a close range weapon that can be used in different ways, but is more of a backup to the BR if the target is close. Due to its balanced power, its more of a starter weapon for the more new players. The BR is a multi-tasking weapon that can be used at all ranges and can still deal a huge amount of damage. The BR is probably best used in the hands of a seasoned player, but there have been the people who are a natural.

i have no arguments about the addition of the br spread. but if your gonna decrease the efectiveness of the br, why increase the effectiveness of most close ranged weapons? shotgun, ar, smg addition of spikers, plasma rifles are 3 shot beatdown etc?

Foman why did you lock the "I find the AR fun to use" thread? If you would have actually taken the time to read it instead of just locking it you would have realized that it was not a BR vs AR discussion as you put it, but instead a discussion amongst people that actually like to have fun with the assault rifle. I am not trying to be a jerk but you could actually try doing your job and locking the real problematic threads. Instead you lock threads where people are actually trying to have a decent discussion. Ban me if you want I don't really care.

So instead of locking a thread in which people are not talking about the br and some iddiot mentions it, why not jus temporarily ban the people that talk about it.
